First author, year | CMR technique | n, male:female | Age range (years) |
|---|---|---|---|
Kim, 2013 [98] | 1.5 T, phase contrast CMR to calculate PWV for 3 distances of the aorta; transit time calculated from the midpoint of the systolic up-slope on the flow versus time curve; cross sectional cine bSSFP at 4 levels of the aorta to calculate distensibility | 61:63 | 20–79 |
Eikendal, 2016 [84] | 3 T, phase contrast CMR to calculate PWV for 2 distances of the aorta, time delay calculated from velocity–time curves | 57:61 | 25–35 |
